You could well be buying the real thing. Kodak, which in the past was
loath to sell their films in off brands, is now apparently packaging
some of their films for other brands. I think ARISTA Premium 400 was
re-branded TRI-X a couple of years ago. The exposure and development
times seemed to be identical. That might be true today, and at 1/2 the
cost of Tri-X, (Freestyle Photo), a bargain.

I have rediscovered film and much to my surprise, I can get what
appears to be a close clone of Plus-X and Tri-x at a better price. I
think I have to dig out my older pentaxes and give this a try. Also
Kentmere has a bargain ASA 100 & 400 film that is getting some good
reviews. As I get older this urge to return gets stronger.

My reseller told me that although not official yet, Fuji is stopping
Neopan 400/1600 (100 still around for now).
Fuji APS-C (ouch, I meant APS) film is dead. Kodak still left with APS
but at about 10 euros per film (!!) (or was that the opposite?).
Almost all slides film is going dodo as well.
If anyone needs such film, it may be a good idea to grab a bunch of'em.
